Funds (A-Z)

Scottish Hydro Drumderg Community Fund

Background

The fund is provided by Scottish and Southern Energy, the developer of the Drumderg Wind Farm. It benefits the Community Council areas of Mount Blair (most of Strathardle and Glenshee) and Alyth. The annual fund value will be at least £64,000 and could reach an average of £100,000 in future. The value will rise with inflation and contributions will be made for 25 years, dating from 2007.

Purpose of fund

The Fund aims to promote community spirit and bring people together; enhance quality of life and promote people’s well-being; and foster vibrant, sustainable communities. Groups and organisations matching these purposes and providing public benefit to people living in the area may apply for a grant award. Your group must have a constitution and be set up on a not-for-profit basis; however you need not be a registered charity.

For details of grants that have been awarded to date, please visit our grant-making map and selecting SSE Drumderg in the Scheme search box.

How to Apply

Applications for grants between £250 and £10,000 will be considered. We will also consider requests for larger grants where a strong case for support can be demonstrated, but we do not expect to make any grant over £50,000.
